- Oregon has to lose a close game one of these days, right? After beating USC 65-62, the Ducks are now 9-0 in games decided by 10 points or less. Devoe Joseph and Garrett Sim helped hold off USC late, hitting some big shots, and six combined free throws in the last couple minutes, continuing the trend of being excellent in the closing minutes. This was a close game than many expected, as the Ducks turned the ball over 19 times, but they got the W, and that's all that matters.
- George Schroeder's column today is on Matthew Knight Arena, and he notes that we're still waiting for a great crowd. There are a number of reasons for that, that Schroeder goes over, but I hope that as the team improves so do the fans, and the atmosphere.
- Adam Jude concludes The RG's three-part series on the three QBs that will be competing this spring, with a profile on Bryan Bennett. He's ready to compete, and is taking responsibility as the oldest QB on the team. He learned from one of the best, and he's ready to meet the high expectations set by those that came before him. And he's learned how to talk like an Oregon football player.
- Moseley has his 2011 review of the secondary. Despite losing Cliff Harris, the Ducks showed just how much talent they've been building, and that should continue next season. I'm very glad that John Boyett decided to stick around.
- Oregon gets some mention in early draft exit articles. Doc Saturday mentions Darron Thomas. Also, Mel Kiper shares his thoughts on LaMichael Lames, DT, and Cliff Harris.
- Some recruiting news, the Ducks will be getting a few visits this weekend, including visits from 3 current commits.
- Bob Rickert has the latest on Shaq Thompson and Arik Armstead. Sounds like Oregon might make out pretty well from the fallout of Tosh Lupoi's decision to leave Cal.

Good morning Rose Bowl Champions!
Had a great dinner at Andina in the Pearl last night. Any of you Pdx ATQers been there before? Sooooo good. I had the duck.

I assume ceviches, as in latin semi raw seafood salad, was where Matt was going
but the dirty jokes are better. In many latin countries a popular is Ceviche de concha, or Conch shellfish. In some S. American countries concha is slang for vagina.

Been a while since I’ve had that.
Probably not since I went to Gustav’s for mother’s day. The manager felt that he had to come apologize for things being late, and informed us that they were “In the back pounding the veal now – and he was going to go and help them pound the veal himself”

Try the East Side, places like Clark Lewis or Le Pigeon or Country Cat
Le Pigeon is superb. Great food.

All three are great places

- Clark Lewis has fantastic food
- Country Cat is delicious and unpretentious, and I kind of adore Montavilla hood, in spite of it being so close to JDH. Pie afterward at the coffee shop on the corner (what’s it called? something political)

I’m even worse up on NW 21st. I had a two-bedroom apartment there for $95 a month.

Someone please disabuse me of my misperceptions...
But it seems to be the Yuppiest Place On Earth. And I’m not just speaking from my small-town Oregon bumpkin standards – from NYC to SF I have never found a more wretched hive of concentrated gaudy Yuppydom. It is the anti-Portlandia. It’s where Portlanders can go to pay California rents and California prices. And so forth.
Somewhere, somehow, a Duck is watching you.
That's the gist.
It’s seems to be populated mostly by yuppies, Wieden+Kennedy staff, and people from the ‘burbs who are too lazy to be real hipsters (which…isn’t the WORST thing, I suppose).

Snowpocalypse? HAH!
We have had 87 inches of snow so far, and the temperature hasn’t been above -5 degrees for well over a week. I will be so glad to be back down there and know that all that snow will melt soon, and not just pile up over months and months, getting deeper and deeper. Having to shovel your roof (in -5 weather mind you) due to the fear it may fall in, and you call that Snowpocalypse? Indeed.
Too much?

You live in Alaska
thereby forfeiting your right to complain about snow. Part of your state is in the Arctic circle. Polar bears live there. Complaining about snow and cold in Alaska is like complaining about overcast and drizzle in Oregon, or it being busy and expensive here in NY.
yeah, wtf is with this winter? I guess we're getting a few inches of slush tomorrow
but its been brilliant so far. I was reading a book in the part on Jan 1 (oh and saw a hawk take a squirrel and munch on it in prospect park for a rare city wildlife viewing experience)
I'm upstate a bit (albany)
It snowed on Halloween and I was so worried it was an omen of lots more to come. But I think its only been 9 inches all winter so far. Very weird. Not like I’m complaining though.
Only 9 inches?
Sounds above average to me.

turns out Seattle is actually pretty dangerous when snowy. Not JUST because it’s the NW and nobody knows how to deal with this sort of winter wonderland, but Seattle is hilly as a muther hubbard. It’s not so much the snow, it’s the slush that re-freezes at night and turns the entire city into an ice rink filled with bumper cars.

This happened to me last year.
Lewis and Clark is on a pretty big freaking hill. From where I would normally park my car, I had to walk up a neighborhood road where the roadway was literally an unscalable ice sheet. Once I had crawled up the shoulder, the sidewalk the rest of the way was also literally frozen over – I had to cling to the guard rail for dear life (when there was one) and pull myself along, hoping not to slip and break something.
All in all, great fun.

via our favorite Bay Area sports media journalist:
There has been no decision on the future of the basketball tournaments, although I expect the situation to be resolved before this season’s event in Staples.
Placing the men’s and women’s events in Las Vegas on a permanent basis is a distinct possibility, but if the league opts for a rotation model, you probably won’t see the tournaments in Oregon or Arizona anytime soon.
Neither state submitted a bid, according to a Pac-12 source.

Offensive line woes/prospects/anxiety
So the RG had this as the projected OL depth chart:
LT: Ryan Clanton, Sr.; Kyle Long, Sr.; Tyler Johnstone, RFr.; Andre Yruretagoyena, RFr.
LG: Carson York, Sr.; Mana Greig, Jr.; Jamal Prater, RFr.
C: Hroniss Grasu, So.; Karrington Armstrong, Jr.; Hamani Stevens, So.
RG: Nick Cody, Sr.; Trevor Fox, Jr.
RT: Jake Fisher, So.; Everett Benyard, Jr.; James Euscher, RFr.; Matt Pierson, RFr.; Brandon Thomas, So.
Along with our WR and kicking core, this is of the most concern heading into next year.
I don’t really have a feel for how Clanton really did. I’m worried about York’s being out for rehab. Hroniss was good as a freshman rookie, but not outstanding (I am open to being corrected here). Cody’s play wasn’t memorable. So this is going to be a crapshoot and I don’t know what to expect. What do people think, how good is this unit going to be, and will it get us past PAC-12 foes, into the RB?

So of course, I had to go google it. Thank god the Wikipedia blackout is over
because I now know there are people who like to eat white worms, OMDG!
Casu marzu (also called casu modde, casu cundhÃdu in Sardinian language, or in Italian formaggio marcio, “rotten cheese”) is a traditional Sardinian sheep milk cheese, notable for containing live insect larvae. It is found mainly in Sardinia, Italy.
Derived from Pecorino, casu marzu goes beyond typical fermentation to a stage most would consider decomposition, brought about by the digestive action of the larvae of the cheese fly Piophila casei. These larvae are deliberately introduced to the cheese, promoting an advanced level of fermentation and breaking down of the cheese’s fats. The texture of the cheese becomes very soft, with some liquid (called lagrima, from Latin for “tears”) seeping out. The larvae themselves appear as translucent white worms, about 8 millimetres (0.3 in) long.1 When disturbed, the larvae can launch themselves for distances up to 15 centimetres (6 in). Some people clear the larvae from the cheese before consuming while others do not.

a friend in NY is a cheese sommelier and brought out 25 exotic cheeses at a party. This was not the worst one was a sheep cheese that was, I kid you not, rolled in cow dung. The dung, reinforced with straw, was allowed to dry around the cheese, creating the a sort of rind. The cheese itself was aromatic with this. Like $90 a pound

2) The front street bypass destoyed a lot of really nice old industrial buildings. If they existed today it would be Salem’s Pearl District.

For a spendier dinner, there’s a pretty good selection of fancier restaurants down on the 1st street waterfront, if it hasn’t been washed away yet.

Caruso’s (technically in Keizer) is really great Italian
Fuji Rice Time has good sushi and yakisoba for relatively cheap.

Venti's is disappointing.
The food is very inconsistent, no attention to detail. The service is sub-par. Last time I went I had overseasoned chicken (even then, one piece would be overly salted, another wouldn’t), mushy, pasty rice (should NEVER happen), and waited 10 minutes for even a glass of water, much less an actual drink. To be specific, this is the Taphouse in S. Salem, not the one downtown which I’ve never been to.
Fuji Rice is fine.

Definitely part of the problem
It’s the same growing pains WBC went through when they moved from one their tiny burger shack to a regular sized restaurant. They’re much improved (Venti’s that is) now. Food is still a little iffy…but I’ve never had a bad felafel there. I love the basement atmosphere more than the taphouse, but they always do last call at like 10pm during the week. Annoying.
One of my favorite beer places in town is F Stop Fitzgerald.

I actually regret that, but for the record I'm not doing so well at understanding local rules.

I find my day to day life is a lot better around bowl season because generally Beaver fans are rooting for Ducks, Ducks are giving Beavers advice on how to enjoy the holidays and we have no SEC fans at work

My wife's family is all Beaver fans, and they take much, much more joy in any Duck failures than they do in Beaver successes.
Not that there are very many of those.

I root for the Bavers and uw to lose. I’m cool with everyone else in the Pac 12 winning. I actively root for UCLA (the team I grew up rooting for). I also tend to mildly support USC when I’m around my friends who are alums (although secretly I wouldn’t mind if they lost).

If I get flooded out we are all in trouble. Has been difficult getting to work this week though (lots of flooding near the airport).

Yeah
I’m on 19th SE right near Mill Creek. I walked down about a block yesterday and was just shocked at the difference. I’m pretty lucky that our house is up away from the street a bit, so it would have needed to rise quite a bit to reach the basement windows of our house. The scene near Muchas on State was just crazy to see.

Yup.
During the summer my wife and I walk down that way every night. It’s a great area. I much prefer older homes.

When I was married I lived in a roomy house built in 1921 in the Hollywood district of Portland. I loved it.

It amazes me sometimes that after growing up in Corvallis,
and along the way becoming somewhat to very familiar with the Portland area, the Eugene area, Bend, Ashland, Klamath Falls, most of the Coast, etc, etc, really most of the state, I basically know nothing about Salem. It’s like a giant black hole in my Oregon knowledge.

I'm the same way, and I've lived here for six years now.
There’s no there there.

The irony
is that whoever laid out the streets must have thought that Salem would grow into a major metropolis. The downtown streets are very wide. I can’t think of any in Portland that are wide enough for four lanes of traffic and diagonal parking on either side like State Street.

But they forgot to build any thoroughfares. It's a tough town to get around.

Well, there's the Salem Parkway
Which was supposed to be Interstate 305, a direct shot to a new bridge over the river near hwy 22. It died the same death by avoidance as the West Eugene Parkway, but at least they built part of it.

Not uncommon.
In Portland, there’s only one reasonably efficient way to go N to S in the central east side, but 39th still doesn’t make it all the way through to say Lombard. Other than that, you have to go all the way up to 82nd or down to the MLK/Grand couplet.

Back to food for Daisy
Why limit dinner to one place? I recommend an evening route.
Jakes for martini’s > Andina’s (no duck, have the server bring an assortment of tapas and visit the wine cellar > Mary’s Club > Hung Far Lo’s > Voodoo Donuts > Back to Hung Far Lo’s if needed.
I'm so glad Hungs is still around
It was the best Chinese place in town when I was at Reed in the mid-70s.
I have an old Oregon program from the 30s, from a game in Portland, and it has an ad for Hung Far Low. Which may make the oldest sponsor still in operation (except I don’t think they’ve been a sponsor for a few decades).

Reed would not stoop so low as to play organized American football.
Rugby, on the other hand, was very popular, as it was a good excuse to drink beer during daylight hours.
